Meaning
The process is universal. Every single god present—Indra, Agni, Varuṇa, etc.—contributes their own unique power and essence (tejas) to this collective energy. All these individual streams of divine power then converge, symbolizing a total unification of divine might for a single purpose: to create the ultimate force against evil.
